Toby Keith released his new single “Old School” today (6/25), and the song’s credits have some familiar names on it. Written by Ryan Hurd, Maren Morris, and Brett Tyler and co-produced by Keith, “Old School” celebrates “small town sticking around.”

Toby said of the new tune, “When I first heard the demo, it reminded me of Steve Miller. But it had a little bit of a rap to it – not unlike the can of worms I opened years ago with ‘I Wanna Talk About Me.’ Then it’s got the coolest melodic waterfall, and I was like, ‘Yeah, I gotta cut this.'”

Keith is also currently nominated for induction in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
